Special to the Globe.
WAsHINGToN, June 1.-THE post
master general denies any intention OF
recommending reduction in the rates
of fOurth-claSS mail matter. The re-
ports sent out were purely Elementary
in foundation, and without authority OF
either the postmaster general or the law
officers of the department. 1t is deemed
advisable to retain the present rates on
all matter for at least another fiscal
year. The reduction of postage on first
class, or letter mail, reduced the rev.
enues of the department by One-third,
yet the strain has been stood, and the
department is still doing well. ltw0uld
not be considered financially prudent,
however, to reduce the rates OH fourth
class matter SO soon after the reduction
on first-class. The public desire for
such reduction is acknowledged; but
there is more influential demand for
reduction, and that is upon secOnd-class
matter. The newspapers of the country
want better rates and better rulings OF
the department on matter of the second
class. There is a very wide spread
opinion, and growing one, that news
papers should be allowed not only free
county circulation. but free state circu-
lation. They are cOnServatOrS OF intel
ligence and information, useful to the
public and largely beneficial. The next
legislation will be rather concerning
SecOnd-claSs than fOurth-claSS matter.

Miss Agnes Murray, a maiden lady of

ram had great reputation as butter.
just before noon yesterday the animal
sought fresh pasture on the lawn of

with short stick i'm her hand went to

The Virginia Senators.
Philadelphia Press.

fQ1lauelpQla PreSS.
1t is probably not generally known
that the two Virginias-the old and
West Virginia-will be represented in
the senate of the Fiftieth congress by
an aggregate of the youngest members
recorded in any two adjoining states.
John w. Daniel, who succeeded Ma
hone, is not yet fOrty-four years old: his
senior colleague, Harrison Riddleberger,
is year younger, while Camden's sue
cessOr from West Virginia, Charles j.
Faulkner, is but forty, and his
senior colleague. Kenna, = is lust
thirty-nine. The latter gentleman
is "a great favorite here and is considered
by his friends to be quite as much of q
WashingtOnian as West Virginian.
The senator is nothing if not original.
Capt. Burritt is responsible for the
story that he introduced novel feature

immensely to his already well-eStab-'
lished popularity. Ever since the right
of suffrage was prerogative of the

Kenna is not only good manipulation
of the bow, but is also one of the
cleverest amateur photographers I'M
the country, and he enters upon his field
of labor twice armed. 1t is his custom,
the captain says, to carry with him while
on his political circuits his violin and
his Photographic apparatus. The latter
has proven wonderful influential adj
junct. He will photograph an entire
family of his backwoOds constituency in
groOp or detail and present the sur,
prised and delighted aboriginals with
the same, which to them is more novel
and acceptable than whole front row
of seats in circus. 1t is estimated that
Kenna has, during the past three years,
photographed two-thirds of the entire
population of the rural and mountain
district of his state, and has held thouS-
andS of discontinued voters safe to
the party ON election day by the infl-
ence of his camera.

An Original Artist Teaches Res

An Or1&1nal Artist reaches Res
taurant Keeper What a Hot
Cup of Coffee Is.
New York World and Express
A member of the Art league, a young
and rising artist, came near being
slaughtered ON Fourteenth street the
other day. He is noted for originality
in every thing he does, and frequently
diplayes genius in the way of eccentric
tiles. 1t was fine day, and the artist
was thirsty and hungry. When he
sauntered into a restaurant, dallying
with his heavy cane and wearing an
Suave proprietor behind his cash desk
smiled and seemed to appreciated the
compliment thus paid to his establish
ment. The youthful Michael Angelo sat
down and ordered several dishes in a
languid way.
.'Waitahls' he said, "bring coffee, and
let it be hOt.'
The disguised nObleman, temporarily
doing duty, as it is termed in vulgar
parlance, trimming hash," brought in
the coffee.
The artist looked at it intently
through his mOnocle, and gently slipped
it twice.
ssWaitahI' he cried, with sad fall
ing infection of the voice, transport
this coffee henceward; it is cold, deuced
cold; can't even use it to take tepid
bath in"
The waiter smothered his pent-up
feelings as he carried the cup of Java
back. He soon returned with another
cup. The artist slipped it once, and the
waiter smiled to think that no further
comments were INDUCED in.
"Please ring for a messenger boy"
asked M. Angelo, as he looked at the
several dishes before him. Soon mes
little note hastily scratched off by the
artist.
The proprietor smiled as he saw the
boy rush out. He thought his customer
had probably written for his chums to
drop in. In ten minutes the messenger
boy returned bearing on small waiter
cup of hot, steaming coffee. He had
simply gone to the restaurant across the
way, q rival establishment. Win he
put the cup down by the artist the pro-
prietOr gave a war whOop and sprang
over the desk. Blood was in his eye.
"Neyah, no, nevah, shall you drink

clear, vamoOse; my blood is up: I am
insulted to the backbone!" calculated
the Opulent but aroused young Del
monic0.
NJ. Angelo arose languidly, sighed,
and placidly observed: II go, but l will
not return. / will leave you this hot
cup Of coffee as sample for you to pat
tern after"
The messenger boy interpolated few
vernacular sentences during the melee,
such as: ''Hey, but here is picnic with
jag on It," and ''Say, boss, who is go
ing to wipe up the floOr?''
The artist reached the door in the
midst Of storm of unwholesome objur-
cations, and, waving his hand, shouted:
